Our 5th annual West Coast SCADaddle for Research weekend took place in San Diego at beautiful Mission Bay – Crown Point Park. This is the first year the West Coast SCADaddle was a timed run/walk. The top three male and female overall finishers received top finisher medals. There was face painting and a complimentary pizza and salad lunch made on site. Participants visited information booths manned by WomenHeart, Fibromuscular Dysplasia Society of America (FMD) and SCAD Research, Inc. San Diego State cheerleaders added to the festivities cheering participants at the start and as they crossed the finish line.

On Friday evening, SCAD survivors, their supporters and families who lost someone to SCAD enjoyed a Meet & Greet complete with Mexican appetizers, raffles and enjoyed each other’s company at a Meet & Greet at a photo studio in Old Town.

On Saturday afternoon, Dr. Sharonne Hayes, an internationally recognized SCAD expert, presented Mayo Clinic SCAD Research Program’s latest research findings at Kaiser Medical Center – Zion to all interested. Her presentation along with the Q&A was streamed and recorded. Her presentation is available on our YouTube channel.
